Food Scene

great sushi at great prices! We get take out at least once a week here. Rolls are large and tasty! They are quite busy in the evening, which is why we do takeout! Try the Goma Ah salad (spinach with sesame dressing), the Chirashi (lots of wonderful fish) and the Lion King (broiled salmon on top of a california roll--pretty much to die for). Located across the street from the beach and SF skyline.

Terrific little Italian place that earned a Michelin mention last year. Chef is wonderful and so are servers and everyone else. Food is terrific--try the pizza from the wood fired oven. Cocktails are also so so good! You may want to call and get a reservation......

this is located inside the Marketplace on Park and Buena Vista in Alameda--the best pizza in town! Also cocktails are to die for! As in, they keep inventing new cocktails and such. Try the ribbon pasta, the diablo pizza, the roasted wedge salad. We find ourselves there quite often on a tuesday evening for the dollar oysters and a pizza. Just great.

if you want Mexican food like someone's mexican grandma made, that is, perfect and well spiced, then head over here. The best margs we've ever had, and the bar is open late until 2am on weekends. The food is just plain yum. Combo Fajitas, New Mexico Enchiladas, Street Tacos, Enchiladas Suizas, I could go on and on. The happy hour menu has chili on it and it's SO good....it has other stuff on it that isn't on the regular menu as well. The house margarita is SO good!

Drinks & Nightlife

always hopping! on the corner of Encinal and Park so people watching is a must, jukebox for those classic 80s tunes, lots of terrific beers and cider on top, great little outdoor area, next door to Scolari's for the best burger in town--and you can bring it over and eat it there. Pretty much perfect place to chill
